My partner is showing early signs of jaundice and we're already working on treatment and prevention. I'm just wondering, is it safe for us to have sex while they're going through this?

Yes, it is generally safe to have sex during jaundice as long as both partners are comfortable. However, it is important to ensure that the underlying cause of jaundice has been treated and that there are no other complications present. It is always best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
